The New Jersey Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and the National Weather Service are closely monitoring Tropical Storm Sandy to see what impact it might have on the area as it moves up the coast.
While the track of the storm has yet to be finalized, Monmouth County officials are also urging residents to be prepared for what may be heading our way, according to a released statement.
"We have seen the damage that a hurricane can cause and I hope that residents will take precautions as we monitor the progression of this storm," Freeholder Lillian G. Burry said. "
Sheriff Shaun Golden said the storm could potentially affect the length of the east coast from Florida to New York.
On its Facebook page, the OEM reports, "There is a potential for a very powerful and dangerous autumn storm to affect our region early next week." The statement continues, "There is a growing threat of strong winds, very heavy rainfall, coastal flooding and inland flooding to affect our region early next week."
The National Weather Service says the impact the storm has on the area depends on how the storm tracks over the next five days or so. While it is currently listed as a Tropical Storm, as of Tuesday, the National Weather Service expects it to be upgraded to a hurricane on Wednesday and move north.
Whether the storm moves out to sea or up the coast the National Weather Service says a large area could be affected based on the size of the predicted storm. They also expect it to be a slow moving storm which could mean more damage for the area it crosses.
With the potential for strong storms the county urged residents to take these steps:
Prepare – Assemble a Kit of Emergency Supplies – Batteries, flashlight, radio, first-aid kit, medications, food and water to last three or more days, can opener, cooking tools, toiletries.
Plan – Create an Emergency Plan – Your family may not be together when disaster strikes, so plan a way to contact one another, such as enlisting the help of a third party in another state as a contact, and review what you will do in different situations.
Stay Informed – "Like" the Monmouth County Government Facebook page, follow the county on Twitter and visit the county Web site frequently for information and links to important resources. Also, listen to local radio and television for the latest information on storms and other emergencies. Review what warning sirens are used in your community to alert residents of major emergencies.
Golden said preparation can make all the difference. "The survival of you and your family will depend on the measures you take to prepare yourself for an emergency situation," he said.
Burry added, "To be truly equipped for an emergency situation you should prepare your finances and consider making yourself available to help your neighbors in an emergency."
Stay with Patch for more information as the storm develops.

I have super fine hair and this spray actually does give it some volume. I put it on before I dry it and I like the results.
This product gave my hair so much volume it was insane! I really want to try the conditioner soon! It smells great and the body it gave my very fine hair was wonderful! A must try!
I have the most unruly curly hair you'll ever see and this product smoothed it down to the perfect curls that get compliments by everyone I pass. I will purchase this product until I die!
This is the only item in my Birchbox I couldn't live without. Because of it, I don't even use a curling iron anymore. I just spray the Volumist on my damp hair and when it dries, the curls are perfect, soft, bouncy and defined.
i have very curl hair and this came in my monthly box. it seemed to dry out my curls and didnt do much for me in the volume department
The shampoo seemed to leave my hair still feeling a little dirty. The spray is alright, doesn't really do much. I feel like it really hasn't added much volume to my hair.
Love this & would to be able to purchase just the spray please?!!! This stuff works better that anything else i have ever tried unlike the terrible miss jessie's!
I really wasn't impressed with this product. Provided a little extra bounce as compared to no product at all, but I'd much rather use a combination gel & mousse to get better results.
This created effortless curls from my usually unruly wavy hair. I got several compliments on my curls. I love it!
If you read the ingredients on the bottle this is pretty much just scented salt water. Albeit very nicely scented. But because it's diluted much less than a trip into the ocean, it really just leaves you with more frizz than extra curl or favorable volume.

Popular Misconceptions
17/03/2011 § 17 Comments
Welcome Geoff Johnson to the HackLibSchool blog. Geoff (on Twitter, or find him on LinkedIn) is a proto-librarian interested in academic librarianship and special libraries – especially news libraries* – attending the Simmons College GSLIS and living in Boston. He'll finish up his coursework in May.
*But really, more than anything, he's interested in being flexible, versatile, and employed.
I thought about lecturing ("You know, in the 21st century, librarianship is about a lot more than books…" or "While I do love books, they only represent a small portion of what my job will be. In fact…"). But I didn't. I smiled and nodded. "Yep, it is pretty quiet," I said. I paid for my amber ale and went to the gate. It got me thinking, though. My brain filed this encounter in with a few other situations, including one in which my friend's father asked, "So, what, do you learn to check out books to people [in library school]?" and an ongoing joke with my dad that I'm spending two years and $40,000 learning the Dewey Decimal System.
The fact that the guy at the bar and my friend's dad assume, through their jokes, that I love books because I'm becoming a librarian is not a problem in and of itself. I do love books. That was one way I rationalized library school myself ("Well, I do love books…"). Here's the thing, though: I can't speak to the experiences other people have at other libraries, but I spend much less than half my time working at the reference desk at the Simmons library and at my internship at the Monitor dealing with actual books. So if a love of books was my only reason for remaining in the field, then I wouldn't be all that satisfied — but I am.
So the problem, actually, is that people don't know that librarianship extends beyond books.
What I've heard, from my first semester on, is that it's up to librarians to demonstrate their value within their organization. People forget or they just don't know. Whether it's my boss reminding her boss each hear all the things the news library does for the website and magazine, or a public library reminding its community about return on investment during times of high unemployment. Discussion of misconceptions usually occurs in class or at a conference (the common element between these two being that it's a room full of librarians or future librarians discussing it), and it starts with a joke about stereotypes (it's usually about shooshing people, and it's usually pretty funny), and it ends with agreement that "Hey, we all know we're much more dynamic than the stereotypes…" and everyone leaves feeling energized, but I'm not sure how often it involves discussion of action outside the company of other librarians.
I know I need to find a way that I'm comfortable with to have that conversation with people, and recently, I've been asking librarians and proto-librarians alike how they have that kind of conversation with people, and I'd be very interested to hear about how hacklibschool people and readers do this.
§ 17 Responses to Popular Misconceptions
This is something I think all of us deal with allll time. I find that when I'm engaged in those quick conversations with strangers and someone says "oh you must like books" I respond nicely "yea I do like books, but most of my job is actually working with people". Sometimes this will lead to a longer conversation about information literacy, reference, and instruction and sometimes it doesn't. I hope that these conversations little by little point out that it's not all about books, but of course there is always more to be done.
Good post! I'm also looking to hear how others handle this situation. I sometimes have people ask me what I learn in library school (along the lines of being confused as why a master's degree is even needed). I struggle with how to condense everything and give the "big picture" of librarianship.
You're right Nicole, about the teachable moments. I definitely need to approach it that way.
I still haven't figured out a good way to handle this one. I've started to just go for the short "embrace the stereotype and move along" response, but I've played around with the thought to create a little boilerplate, elevator speech type response about my degree being "all the things under the hood that make information work" but haven't come up with anything satisfactory.
Then, combine that with trying to explain "special libraries" and people really think you're blowing hot air.
I've gone to SXSW (a web/interactive conference) for the last couple of years and I'm seeing that slowly smart people understand the need for librarians everywhere. I always introduce myself as a librarian and when they ask why I'm at a tech conference I say "You all made a mess of the web and you need librarians to organize and clean it up." Seems to do the trick. It doesn't hurt that more and more librarians are going to SXSW every year helping me spread the word (the Atlantic declared 2011 to be the Year of the Librarian).
I encourage you all to go to odd conferences or talks and show our relevance.
Since I'm in academic libraries, I've been telling people, "actually, we use the Library of Congress system, not Dewey Decimal," but I don't feel very satisfied with it. I really like what one of my best professors, Kim Schroeder, said to tell people when they ask about your job/future job: "I'm responsible for organizing, storing, and providing access to the total knowledge of humanity. I'm a librarian. What do you do?"
I actually tried that once and although I felt super conceited and a little weird saying it, I got a great response.
Thanks for a great post!
Thanks for all the responses. Good to hear that I'm not the only one who struggles with this.
Nicole, Carolyn and Lis, I commend you for embracing the teachable moments; I'm going to shoot for that from now on.
One thing I might not have made all that clear is that my reticence to full-out explain my chosen profession to strangers isn't so much that I'm annoyed that they don't know, but because I assume I'm going to lose their interest really quickly when I start talking about what my job and the profession is really like. I'm sure those of you who work in reference or research have had the experience of giving someone way, way more information than they ever wanted and the blank stare that goes along with that.
I don't get the "so you love books!" comment much; I tend to get the "why? Everything's available online now, we don't need libraries anymore" comment.
My reply is always, "Yes, but how do you think everything got there?"
Which always makes for a satisfying pause in the conversation while they actually think about that for a change.
I love that response! I've gotten the "you must love books" statement before, but I think it's because I'm known for that. I'm a Literature graduate, and I worked in a bookstore. Of course I'd get that question. So usually, I just say "yes" because it's easier.
Most of the time I can address misconceptions about librarianship by giving a variey of examples of jobs MLS graduates can do. Working on databases, working to manage business records, supporting government agencies… it's nice if there's enough time to flesh this out a little. I mention web design as something I've picked up in library school. The hardest question for me is "what do you learn in library school?". Sometimes when I look back the body of knowledge I've gained seems so eclectic that I can't summarize it.
Oh, I love this blog post, because whom of us do NOT get all the stereotypes – and I agree, Geoff, I do love books and I do know the Dewey Decimal a little too well. But library school is not really at all about books, it's about wikis and access and user services and policy making. If I wanted a career in books, I would have gone for that MA in children's lit.
Last weekend, when I told someone that I was training to be an archivist, I got the "so that's a dying field, good luck." But when I told him that being an archivist was really about information organization in order to provide access and aid in knowledge management, his eyes lit up. We had an awesomely nerdy conversation about it in the middle of a dinner party.
I encourage everyone to defend their information professions, because what we do and what we know is useful to everyone – and the poor chumps, MBAs or not, are clueless. We need to rescue them!
This is fantastic. I've had wayyy too many people make the same jokes about the Dewey Decimal System when I tell them I'm pursuing a Masters in Library and Information Science. The echoes of, "not to be offensive, but what do you really learn in library school?," still ring in my ears. Thank you all for giving me suggestions for witty retorts, and thank you Geoff and Hack Library School for getting this conversation started!
Great post! I can completely sympathize with your experiences here– in fact, I just recently posted on this topic based on people's reactions to my being a newly-graduated library school student:
[...] Archivists, in some ways, are fighting a battle even more uphill than librarians. A bold statement, but hear me out. Everyone – well, nearly everyone – has been into a library at some point in their life. Schools of all kinds and for all ages, corporations, not-for-profits, even prisons have libraries. But who goes to the archives? Who even know what to go to the archives for? We archivists appeal to a more niche population. I spend a lot of time trying to explain what archives are and, most importantly, what they can do for "normal people," because I don't know how to duck those questions. [...]
[...] for a company that was sorta consulting, sorta just research, I have had more than my fair share of awkward moments trying to explain what I do. Thankfully, in the world at large, there's a basic understanding of consulting and/or [...]
To me it is simple. I am instilling in children a love of learning. By teaching library-media, they are exposed to stories from every culture, technology that unites thoughts and the world, and they learn about citizenship and tolerance.Library deals with Big Ideas !!
To develop the skills, yes the Dewey, yes research skills, yes 21st Century technical skills, our students become self learners. In turn they have the confidence and competency to achieve academically and socially, I set goals that they all should get into a college preparatory high school, then a college, and then become the person they dream of being !!
My 520 students are between K and 8th grades.

Take the Quiz Before You Read the Report
As part of the Pew News IQ Project, people are invited to test their own news IQ by taking an interactive quiz now available on the Pew Research Center's Web site. The short quiz includes the same questions that were included in the national poll. Participants will instantly learn how they did on the quiz in comparison with the general public as well as with people like them. To take the quiz, click on this link: http://pewresearch.org/politicalquiz
What does the Public Know?
The U.S. government has a lot on its plate right now, which means that the American public has a lot to keep up with in the news. The Pew Research Center's latest News IQ Quiz finds a mixed picture of public awareness on key issues, with majorities aware of some key facts on health care and the economy. But other questions stump large segments of the public, including the current size of the U.S. military commitment in Afghanistan, the approximate level of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the name of a key environmental proposal being debated in Congress.
On health care, which has dominated news coverage for much of the summer, most Americans are aware that the U.S. spends more per capita on health care than most major European nations. And more than half (56%) know that the debate in Congress over a "public option" pertains to health care legislation and not some other substantive policy area. By contrast, far fewer (18%) can correctly identify Max Baucus as chair of the Senate Finance Committee that has developed legislation to reform the U.S. health care system.
The current news quiz, conducted Oct. 1-4 among 1,002 adults reached on cell phones and landlines, asked 12 multiple choice questions about people, events and issues in the news. Respondents answered an average of 5.3 questions correctly.

Comments about Byblos In Black By Byblos:
The only one cons that it's not strong enough for being Eau de Parfume! Some mentioned it's similarity to Terre d'Hermes, but it's not a copy. "In Black" has it's own character. It's very elegant and not too sweet. I detected gentle citrus with pepper in the beginning, later its getting some sweet notes with Tonka beans. Resin and benzoin keep it warmer but not overwhelming. This fragrance is -fresh oriental- (imho) and its great for daily / office use too. Highly recommended! :) Great value for its price.

The Bloomington Early Music Festival encourages and celebrates historically informed performance with an annual festival, seasonal concerts, numerous educational events in the immediate regions, and by committed support for emerging performing artists.
The Bloomington Early Music Festival brings together leading soloists and ensembles for a series of concerts, opera and oratorios, workshops, and pre-concert talks. Cross-cultural interests in the festival sometimes include performances by acclaimed folk musicians. As the only festival of its kind in the Midwest, the festival serves the Bloomington community, the Midwest region, and a growing number of music lovers from across the United States.
The Bloomington Early Music Festival collaborates regularly with a number of local and regional performing arts entities. The festival has produced nine operas and a theatrical children's show. In addition, BLEMF has forged collaborative relationships with faculty and students in the Early Music Institute at Indiana University. Recently, BLEMF has sponsored the Bloomington Bach Cantata Project.
BLEMF has provided a number of opportunities for musicians to break new ground while maintaining a high degree of quality in performance. Good examples of this are the 1995 production of Dido and Aeneas, the 1997 production of Monteverdi's Coronation of Poppea, and the 1999 production of La Purpura de la rosa, all of which were avidly discussed across the nation, on the internet, and in regional newspapers. During the 2000 festival, the production of Alcina by George Frideric Handel, performed to great effect in the Buskirk Chumley Theatre, received rave reviews. More recent productions include Monteverdi's I lavori d'amore persi, conceived and created by Nigel North and A. Scott Parry; Purcell's King Arthur, stage directed by Mark Clark; and Adolf Hasse's seldom-heard Piramo e Tisbe, directed by Chia Patino.

also, i am on a lease right now with my car. it's a cheap payment. $258/month. <....snip.....> there are some emotional issues here, too, like that i've given up so much for 2 years basically, in preparation to TTC, and feel like i "deserve" to treat myself to a car with heated seats. yes, trivial and spoiled, but i had to put it out there.
|I would make a date with your DH to talk finances every week for a couple of months. Set a time limit. Read the book together and discuss what you like and dont like. Work together.
any recommendations for *free* software or programs that we could use to track our spending? I'm talking the minutae of our spending, something that could give more detail than "household" etc...?
should I just make a list myself, to track laundry detergent, vinegar, tooth brushes, baking soda etc?
is there any program that could do that for us?
Well we are passing on the house...we came to our senses and are back on track...can't wait to be DF in the spring!

Image of the Day: Rover's
'SAM' Lab Instrument Suite Tastes Soil
November 14, 2012
A pinch of fine sand and dust became the first
solid Martian sample deposited into the biggest instrument on
NASA's Mars rover Curiosity: the Sample Analysis at Mars,
or SAM.
Located inside the rover, SAM examines the
chemistry of samples it ingests, checking particularly for
chemistry relevant to whether an environment can support life.
Curiosity's robotic arm delivered SAM's first
taste of Martian soil to an inlet port on the rover deck on Nov. 9.
During the following two days, SAM used mass spectrometry, gas
chromatography and laser spectrometry to analyze the sample. The
sample came from the patch of windblown material called
"Rocknest," which had provided a sample
previously for mineralogical analysis by Curiosity's
Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) instrument. CheMin also received

Last month I asked for advice regarding retrieving the brass plug that (I assumed) was blocking the bathtub drain. I wasn't able to snag the plug--which continued to slip lower in the pipe, nor could I loosen the slip nut where the overflow pipe meets the tee pipe. A stronger friend visits about once a month, so I put the project on hold until the next visit. (Fortunately, we have 2 bathrooms.) Here's the update/new problem:
With the overflow pipe removed, it appeared that the plug had slipped a few more inches and now rests where the pipe makes an approx. 90 degree angle and runs between the joists. Further, judging by the feel against the rod, this does not appear to be the brass plug--the surface is irregular. It's impossible to look directly into the pipe (the access panel is partially blocked by a radiator) and pictures suffer due to the lighting. Judging by the reflection, it seems that whatever is blocking the pipe is white.
Before I discovered that there was nothing attached to the overflow lever, I assumed that the drain was clogged and I treated it with lye drain cleaner--several times over a few days. I've since learned that this cleaner can actually form hard crystal blocks in pipes when used in excess, which probably applies here.
Chipping at it with a chisel didn't do anything and it's too large/too firmly wedged in place to suck it out with a shop vac. (FWIW, all this effort has made a tiny difference. The drain now runs extremely slowly, as opposed to being entirely blocked.)
So, the new question--how can I dissolve/remove this large lye crystal?
Thanks for any advice/words of wisdom.

Course description
From understanding social identities to modeling the spread of disease, this eight-week course will span key science and survival themes using AMC's The Walking Dead as its basis. Four faculty members from the University of California, Irvine will take you on an inter-disciplinary academic journey deep into the world of AMC's The Walking Dead, exploring the following topics:
- Maslow's hierarchy of needs—is survival just about being alive?
- Social order and structures—from the farm and the prison to Woodbury
- Social identity, roles, and stereotyping—as shown through leaders like Rick and the Governor
- The role of public health in society—from the CDC to local community organizations
- The spread of infectious disease and population modeling—swarm!
- The role of energy and momentum in damage control—how can you best protect yourself?
- Nutrition in a post-apocalyptic world—are squirrels really good for you?
- Managing stress in disaster situations—what's the long-term effect of always sleeping with one eye open?
Each week we'll watch engaging lectures, listen to expert interviews, watch exclusive interviews with cast members talking about their characters, use key scenes from the show to illustrate course learning, read interesting articles, review academic resources, participate in large and small group discussions, and—of course—test our learning with quizzes. We recommend that you plan on spending about two (2) to four (4) hours per week on this course, though we believe the course is compelling enough you'll want to spend more time.
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Describe how infectious diseases—like a zombie epidemic—spread and are managed
- Apply various models of society and Maslow's hierarchy of needs to existing and emerging societies as a means for understanding human behavior
- Analyze existing social roles and stereotypes as they exist today and in an emerging world
- Debate the role of public health organizations in society
- Describe how mathematical equations for population dynamics can be used to study disease spread and interventions
- Apply concepts of energy and momentum appropriately when analyzing collisions and other activities that either inflict or prevent damage
- Summarize multiple methods for managing stress in disaster situations
Joanne Christopherson, Ph.D.
Lecturer, Social Sciences
Dr. Joanne Christopherson is currently a lecturer in the School of Social Sciences and associate director of the Demographic and Social Analysis M.A. program at the University of California, Irvine. She's also a big fan of psychological thrillers with multi-dimensional characters and situations. "It is an amazing experience to be involved in this MOOC. The Walking Dead can be scary, but the zombies aren't even the scariest characters in the show. Each episode is rich with social issues: what it means to be human, the basis of social order, freedom and action, value judgments and human differences, and personal and social change. It was hard to pick just three social topics—social identity, models of society, and Maslow's hierarchy of needs—for this course."
Dr. Christopherson currently teaches courses that cover history and principles in social science, social policy, public service, research methods, and computer skills for research, including geographic information systems. Her research interests include prevention of school violence, youth and elder suicide, Alzheimer's disease, and child obesity. She has been teaching her courses online for four years and developed the first online course offered during the normal academic year at UC Irvine.
Dr. Christopherson graduated summa cum laude from UC Irvine with a B.A. in psychology and continued at UC Irvine for an M.A. in demographic and social analysis, and a Ph.D. in environmental health science with a concentration in epidemiology.

Michael Dennin, Ph.D.
Professor, Physics and Astronomy
Michael Dennin is a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California, Irvine, where he's been for the last 16 years. In addition to teaching a wide range of physics courses, including the Science of Superheroes, he runs a research lab that studies the behavior of bubbles and foam. He has appeared on numerous science specials for the History Channel and National Geographic Channel, including the Science of Superman, Batman Tech, Spider-Man Tech, and Star Wars Tech. "Combining popular science fiction with actual science education brings together an audience with a basic interest in science (whether they realize it or not) and a raw curiosity about what is possible," he says. "That's ultimately the scientific search: to determine what is possible. Shows like The Walking Dead work not just because they are fun (which they are) but because they ask the question 'What is possible?'"
The course unit taught by Dr. Dennin aims to satiate that curiosity and bring science into the everyday realm. "In The Walking Dead, people are faced with two basic issues of physics: protecting against damage and causing damage." He continues, "So, how realistic is the depiction of damage causes and protection in television, movies, and video games? Asking this question allows us to explore fundamental ideas of physics: energy, momentum, and forces." The course will explore how these ideas form the basis of describing material properties (strength and elasticity), interactions between objects (from weapons to flight), and even general issues of energy generation. The course will also explore important scientific concepts like precision and accuracy, in the context of targeting weapons.
Dr. Dennin received his undergraduate degree in physics from Princeton University and earned his Ph.D. in physics from UC Santa Barbara. He then spent a year and a half at UCLA in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry as a postdoctoral researcher.

Zuzana Bic, DrPH, MUDr.
Lecturer, Public Health
You've heard of the CDC, right? Well, meet Dr. Zuzana Bic, a tenured lecturer and the director of Student Experience in Public Health Practice at the Department of Population Health and Disease Prevention at UC Irvine. "The Walking Dead is surprisingly real in showing the human reaction to stressful situations," Dr. Bic says. "Given my background as a physician, a public health professional, and a college educator, it's difficult for me to see the characters in the show experiencing chaos, suffering, pain, anger, anxiety, helplessness, and depression. But it forced me to ask: Why does this show exist now? Why offer a course on this? Perhaps it's for the public to learn something—something good. I'm an academic and an optimist."
In this course, Dr. Bic will elaborate on the concepts of public health, the role of the CDC and other public health agencies, and the management of communicable and non-communicable diseases. She'll explore questions like: What can we learn from past epidemics? What is the common denominator for all diseases? Can we survive in a state of chronic high stress? What are the tools for coping with stressful situations? What's the role of proper public health communication? How is food important for our mental health?
Dr. Bic has taught online courses for several years and was one of the first faculty members at UC Irvine to offer a MOOC (Principles of Public Health) to over 15,000 students worldwide. She was recognized as Lecturer of the Year (2008) and Outstanding Professor (2009, 2010, and 2011) at UC Irvine. She received doctorate degrees in both public health (Loma Linda University) and medicine (King Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic). She serves on the Community Leadership Board for the American Diabetes Association, and is currently the chair of the Mission Delivery Committee.

Sarah Eichhorn, Ph.D.
Lecturer, Assistant Vice Chair for Undergraduate Studies in Mathematics
Besides being a tenured lecturer and the assistant vice chair for Undergraduate Studies in the Mathematics Department at the University of California, Irvine, Dr. Sarah Eichhorn is a longtime sci-fi fan with a particular affinity for all things post-apocalyptic. A latecomer to The Walking Dead world, she binge-watched all three seasons in under a week. "Surprisingly, there's actually a lot of interesting math related to The Walking Dead," says Dr. Eichhorn. "I'll be teaching about how mathematics can be used to model population dynamics and project future species survival or extinction. I'll also show how mathematics could potentially help curb the spread of walker disease via a variety of interventions—vaccinations, treatments, cures, better weapons, etc."
Dr. Eichhorn earned a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from the University of Arizona. Her dissertation research involved using elasticity theory to study planetary tides, particularly on Jupiter's moon, Europa. She has since worked on research problems in data assimilation, adaptive learning, and combinatorial game theory. Eichhorn currently co-directs two NSF-funded undergraduate training and research programs—one in computational applied mathematics and one in mathematical biology. She has personally advised over 70 undergraduate researchers.
Eichhorn is extremely passionate about teaching and has won several teaching awards, including the 2011 Mathematical Association of America Alder Award for distinguished teaching and the 2013 UCI Distinguished Assistant Professor for Teaching award. She has experience designing and teaching courses using a wide-range of instructional techniques, including traditional lectures, small seminars, independent studies, technology-enhanced classes, flipped classes, and online courses. She has even taught an algebra and a precalculus MOOC to over 84,000 enrolled students. In 2013, Eichhorn began a split appointment in the UCI Distance Learning Center, where she works as a course designer, instructional researcher, and OpenCourseWare website manager.

It started with Earl [Watson], Randy [Foye] and Marvin [Williams]the veteran guys. I thought the young guys did a good job of following their lead getting us off to a good start. - referring to the Jazz/Bobcats game on 3/1/13
Earl, Randy, and Marvin started the first quarter 0-3, scored a whopping zero points, and finished with a turnover in the first quarter.
Your head coach of the Jazz ladies and gentlemen.
Someone get a ****ing link up already!
It's a common play though & this is just Locke stat geeking. Sloan used to run these for D-Will a lot where he'd catch the ball toward the baseline. Williams ran them so much harder and used screens way better than anyone the Jazz currently have. This team is a hodge podge of garbage being dragged along by Al Jefferson.
The chances of the Jazz taking two HOF'ers ever again are pretty god damn slim, but that is the only way the Jazz get back to the Finals. Take the goggles off and thats what youll see.

Pros – The people are great. The corporate culture is very relaxed. No one makes anyone else feel less important. Even as a Co-Op they offered good guidance and support.
Cons – The potential to become a full-time employee after graduation is very difficult if you work within the finance/accounting role. Very few spots open up.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Experiencing bullying is challenging and upsetting. It's one of those situations that leaves a permanent mark on a person's inner fabric and can forever alter the path a person takes, depending on how the situation is handled.
It's no surprise that as more of life has become digital and online, bullies have gone there too. The problem with online bullies is that they are faceless and often harder to identify and stop than bullies in the off-line realm. The effect, though, is no less significant, especially on children. In fact, online bullying—cyberbullying—is the most common negative situation that can happen in the online space to any of our kids.
Kids don't report it to adults and don't want to rat out their friends. To add insult to injury, schools uniformly don't have great strategies for handling it.
It can be challenging to figure out. Look for subtle signs in behavior:
Kids who bully may have similar signs, but you may notice unusual computer activity such as switching screens when you walk in or multiple log-ins that you don't recognize.
As with all childhood changes from normative behavior, anything that's extreme and interfering with home, school, and friends warrants further investigation. Call the school to see if grades are slipping, and call your pediatrician to arrange an evaluation including a discussion of whether it would be appropriate to obtain psychologic input.
Bullying expert and psychologist Joel Haber, PhD, notes that bullying is on the rise due to technologic changes in our culture. Dr Haber feels as other experts do that it's the accessibility coupled with technology that is part of the issue. The indirect nature of the Internet allows even good kids to be mean because of the faceless power that the screen builds in. Dr Haber notes that "it's easier to have fun at someone else's expense" and that being online removes the empathy that face-to face contact creates.
Ross Ellis, founder and CEO, Love Our Children USA, a national nonprofit dedicated to stopping all violence against children, including bullying, agrees: "Cyberbullying is huge." E-mails and calls she receives from families confirm the statistics, and she's learned about cyberbullying by instant message (IM), e-mail, and texting. Her best advice to parents is to take all threats any child informs parents of seriously: "You don't know the hatred of the bully." She is so right about that. It is very important to evaluate all threats a child informs you of to determine the level of intensity and how much danger your child may be in.
Call the police if the situation seems to place your child in serious danger with a significant threat, or the other parent will not help you.
Studies show that the child being bullied often knows the bully. The police can track the IP address to find the bully and keep your child safe, which is the ultimate goal. Even if your child claims to know the bully, knowing for sure by tracking the IP is the best insurance policy, as there have been cases of mistaken identity in the online world with people using other people's computers and cell phones to send harmful messages and bully.
"If a child says he or she was bullied, take it seriously," Ross told me. "That's a form of violence against a child. It must be taken seriously and the child needs help to look into it and the tools to work it out. Adults must listen."
Any child online is at risk for being bullied. Our off-line senses for detecting that something is off with our child will help us pick up that something may have occurred and questions should be asked. And monitoring programs that help you uncover situations that your child may not know how to talk to you about can help facilitate conversations that kids find very difficult to bring up to any adult, including parents.
It's important to keep an open mind and listen without overreacting if your child comes to you with hard-to-hear information. And be on the lookout.

Q. Can you tell me why the detective partner on Blue Bloods left?
Jennifer Esposito, who played Detective Jackie Curatola on the CBS drama, has been dealing with celiac disease, a disorder caused by eating gluten. According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, symptoms can include fatigue, weight loss and cramping. On her doctor's advice, Esposito said, she asked that her workload on the show be reduced. Instead, she said, she was expected to maintain her previous schedule and collapsed on the set.
While she was later ready to go back to work, the show decided to part ways. In a statement, CBS' production company said: "Jennifer has informed us that she is only available to work on a very limited part-time schedule. As a result, she's unable to perform the demands of her role and we regretfully had to put her character on a leave of absence."
Fans were outraged and, in a recent Tweet, Esposito said, "Have celiac and it's not going away but not disabled can work." Still, the show has moved on, basically writing out Jackie in the episode that aired on Nov. 9 and introducing Megan Ketch as a new detective and foil for Danny (Donnie Wahlberg).
Q. Please say GCB is returning and when. And what does the title really stand for?
It is not returning. The letters originally stood for Good Christian Bitches, the title of the book on which the show is based. Not surprisingly, some viewers took issue with that. There was a period when it appeared the show was going to be renamed Good Christian Belles. Then it aired simply as GCB, leaving the viewers to decide. These days, it stands for "Gone, canceled, bye!"
Q. When you mentioned the end of Made in Jersey, your information was not up-to-date. It is coming back on CBS on Saturdays beginning Nov. 24.
As some of you may know, this column runs in other newspapers besides the Beacon Journal. In this case, the information changed between the time I wrote the answer and the time you read it. But, yes, Made in Jersey fans, the show will get a run on Saturdays on CBS. Still, keep in mind that this does not mean there will be more Made in Jersey once the last few episodes have been televised.
Q. Did John Thaw of Inspector Morse have an artificial leg? He appears to walk as if he did.
Many viewers wondered about Thaw's leg, and even speculated that he had a wooden one, according to one obituary after his death in 2002.
There was no wooden leg, but it appears that Thaw, who played the inspector from 1987 to 2000, did have a problem. His wife, Sheila Hancock, said in her book The Two of Us that Thaw had a withered leg, much like his grandfather, which Thaw blamed on copying his grandfather's walk, "although a more likely explanation was a neglected ankle injury from a car accident causing him to drag his foot and therefore underuse his calf muscles."

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama summoned congressional leaders to a Friday summit at the White House in a last-ditch effort to protect taxpayers, unemployed workers and the fragile U.S. recovery from severe austerity measures set to hit in just four days.

(AP Photo/ Evan Vucci)
Also Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, announced that he would call the House back into session this weekend. And in perhaps the most significant development, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., for the first time was engaged directly in talks with the White House. He signaled an interest in cutting a deal.
"The truth is, we're coming up against a hard deadline here ... and Republicans aren't about to write a blank check for anything Senate Democrats put forward just because we find ourselves at the edge of the cliff," McConnell said in a speech Thursday afternoon on the Senate floor.
"We'll see what the president has to propose," McConnell said. "Hopefully, there is still time for an agreement of some kind that saves the taxpayers from a wholly preventable economic crisis."
This marks just the fifth time since the 1930s that members of Congress have been dragged back from holiday break to a post-Christmas session in Washington.
With uncertainty about a solution producing volatility in the equity markets, aides in both parties expressed hope that legislation could be enacted before the New Year's Eve deadline. They cautioned, however, that quick action would require leaders in both chambers to rally firmly around a specific set of proposals.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud of Maine told the Press Herald that negotiators should have stayed in Washington last week until a deal was complete.
Michaud had planned to vote against Boehner's "Plan B" had it been brought to the floor last week and has supported the Democratic plan to extend the tax cuts only for families earning less than $250,000 a year.
"The lack of progress so far and the last-minute maneuvering not only makes Washington look incompetent, it could also damage our economy and impact millions of people," Michaud said in a prepared statement. "Both sides need to work together, and the finger-pointing and excuses must end."
Rep. Chellie Pingree was among Democrats calling on the House Republican leadership to allow a vote on the Senate-passed plan to extend tax cuts for those earning $250,000 or less.
"If Republican leaders would give us the chance to vote on that, I think it would pass and we could avert this crisis," Pingree said in a statement. "Unfortunately, again and again the roadblock is a group of extremist Republicans in the House who wouldn't even support a deal that gives millionaires a huge tax break."
Pingree is married to S. Donald Sussman, majority share owner of the Portland Press Herald.
One option that could potentially win broad support, aides said, was allowing taxes to rise on household income over $400,000 a year -- Obama's latest offer in negotiations with Boehner -- rather than the lower threshold of $250,000 a year, as Obama proposed during the presidential campaign. Publicly, there was little sign of such a thaw Thursday.
Instead, a sense of gloom pervaded the Capitol. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., openly speculated on the Senate floor that there may no longer be time to avoid more than $500 billion in tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to take effect next week.
In preparation for that possibility, each party stepped up efforts to proactively deflect blame.
Reid urged the House to take up an "escape hatch" bill adopted by the Senate in July that would forestall the worst of the cliff's economic consequences by extending tax breaks adopted under President George W. Bush for income under $250,000.
He charged that Boehner is running a "dictatorship" in the House, refusing to bring forward the legislation because it might pass with broad Democratic support and a handful of Republican votes.
"Nothing can move forward in regards to our budget crisis unless Speaker Boehner and Leader McConnell are willing to participate in coming up with a bipartisan plan," Reid said. "So far, they are radio-silent."
McConnell retorted that Republicans have been eager to work with Obama. After one-on-one talks between Obama and Boehner failed to produce a broad deficit-reduction package last week, McConnell said it is now the president's responsibility to put forward a new plan.
"Republicans bent over backwards," he said. "We wanted an agreement. But we had no takers. The phone never rang."
McConnell said the Senate's bill was not a viable option because it was approved with only Democratic votes and because measures dealing with revenue are required by the Constitution to originate in the House.
Boehner also told Republican lawmakers in a conference call that the Senate must act first. He said the Senate should take up and amend a bill passed by House Republicans in August to extend tax breaks for Americans at all income levels and another approved in May that would shift military spending cuts set for next month to domestic programs.
The day was rife with rumors of behind-the-scenes movement, evidence of the anxious energy that has gripped Washington as the deadline approaches.
The first round of excitement came when McConnell sent an email to Republican senators suggesting that Obama "would finally be proposing a package to avoid the cliff and I agreed to review it," according to a copy of the email given to The Washington Post.
White House officials and Senate Democrats denied that a new proposal was forthcoming. But McConnell continued to insist throughout the day that he was eager to review the new offer. Ultimately, both parties confirmed that quiet talks were under way between aides to McConnell and senior White House officials.
The scope of the package under discussion appeared to follow the contours Obama laid out Friday in a news conference where he urged Congress to extend expiring tax cuts for 98 percent of taxpayers and to keep benefits flowing to about 2 million long-term unemployed. Also, aides said, talks were focused on preserving low tax rates for inherited estates and extending tax breaks for college tuition and the working poor.
But aides said that time had probably run out for an agreement on significant spending cuts or to lift the legal limit on government borrowing, which will have to be done within the next two months.

Super typhoon Yolanda, with an international name of Haiyan, was the 4th strongest tropical cyclone in the world since 1960. It was also the strongest that made a landfall in Earth's history. It was unexpected, no one was prepared for it, not even the typhoon-experienced Philippines.
The aftermath was equally worse. The National government was "paralyzed", "shocked", and in "chaos". No, they would not admit it — for obvious reasons — but anyone can that it is the case. What went wrong? How do we move forward from this disaster? Where should we go next?

Denver , Colo. – The talented young artists of Central City Opera's Bonfils-Stanton Foundation Artists Training Program will take the stage for two Nina Odescalchi Kelly Family Matinee performances this summer of Donizetti's Lucia di Lamermoor on Tuesday, July 21 at 2 p.m. and Handel's Rinaldo on Tuesday, July 28 at 2 p.m. These special performances of this season's festival productions offer an ideal opportunity for an afternoon of family entertainment at a special ticket price of $10 for children and $15 for adults.
Donizetti's Lucia di Lamermoor is Italian bel canto opera at its finest. It follows the tale of two feuding families, the Ashtons and the Ravenswoods, in the Lammermuir Hills area of Lowland Scotland and the forbidden love between Lucia, an Ashton, and Edgardo, a Ravenswood. This new production set in Scotland during the mid 1800s is sung in Italian with English supertitles.
Handel's Rinaldo is a story of love amidst battle during the First Crusade (1096-1099). Almirena, the daughter of the Christian General Goffredo, and the knight Rinaldo are torn apart during battle and must overcome adversity to be together. A new production sung in Italian with English supertitles.
Designed specifically for young audiences, a narrator guides the opera goers through the story, characters, and music of Lucia di Lamermoor prior to the opening of each act. English supertitles help everyone follow the action as the story unfolds. After the final curtain, audiences are invited to the Opera House courtyard where they can meet cast members for autographs, pictures, and to ask questions about the opera.
All roles in the family matinees are performed by members of the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation Artists Training Program, one of the most respected apprentice programs in the country. Central City Opera Artistic Director Emeritus John Moriarty founded the program in 1978. Today, 30 participants are selected from over 800 applicants through a rigorous application and audition process. After arrival in Central City, they divide their time between performing in Festival productions and classes designed to help them develop and utilize useful skills for a rewarding opera career. Samuel Ramey, Denyce Graves, Cynthia Lawrence, Franco Farina, Emily Pulley and Chad Shelton are just a few of the alumni from the program who have gone on to important careers.
Nina Odescalchi Kelly Family Matinees are economically priced for families with general admission $10 for children ages six to 18 and adult admission $15. It is recommended that all children be accompanied by an adult. Attendees receive an Opera Insider publication for a behind-the-scenes look at the opera. Tickets may be purchased through the Central City Opera Box Office by calling 303.292.6700 or by visiting www.centralcityopera.org.
Patrons can also elect to participate in the "Take a Child to the Opera Day" activities hosted by the Central City Opera House Association Guild, which includes lunch, a tour of the Opera House, games and activities, and a pre-performance meeting with a young artist. "Take a Child to the Opera Day" ticket prices are $32 for adults, $27 for children six and older. Call Central City Opera at 303.292.6700 to purchase tickets. A full list of "Take a Child to the Opera Day" activities is located below.
The Central City Opera House Association Guild presents "Take a Child to the Opera Day" on Tuesday, July 21 for Lucia di Lammermoor and on Tuesday, July 28 for Rinaldo. Both events take place from 11:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., prior to the Central City Opera Family Matinee performance.
This Annual Guild Event combines an engaging opportunity for children, ages six and older, to learn about the Gilpin County History by taking a tour of the Opera House, to visit with a Central City Opera young artist, to see a professional performance, and collect autographs from their favorite singers. The following is the day's schedule for both July 21 and July 28:
11:45 a.m. – Meet at Williams Stables to learn the "Usher Song" and meet some of the young artists, followed by a tour of the Opera House.
12:00 p.m. – What's behind the opera? Explore the many facets of opera through games and activities.
12:45 p.m. – Enjoy a picnic-style lunch with Central City Opera singer at the historic Teller House. Children will learn about life as a professional singer and receive a special souvenir gift.
2:00 p.m. – Attend the Family Matinee performance of Lucia di Lammermoor (July 21) or Rinaldo (July 28), with a "what-to-listen-for" introduction before each act.
Ticket prices are $32 for adults and $27 for children ages six and older . All participants will receive a family study guide in advance. Call Central City Opera Box Office at 303.292.6700 to purchase tickets.
Central City Opera House Association is the nation's fifth-oldest opera company, located just 35 miles west of Denver in one of Colorado's official National Landmark Historic Districts. The company continues to present artistically excellent professional opera in an annual summer festival; to offer career-entry training to young singers; to produce education and community service programs; and to preserve and maintain the Opera House and 30 other Victorian-era properties. The 2009 Summer Festival includes Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, the popular Italian bel canto style opera about feuding families in Scotland and young Lucia's forbidden love; Sondheim's A Little Night Music, the Tony Award® winning musical that portrays the romantic lives of couples in Swedish society; and Handel's Italian opera Rinaldo, a heroic story of battle and love set in the time of the First Crusade.

Justice People Deserve, Not Just What They Can Afford
By Hollis R. Hanover | CBF Director of Development
The 8th annual CBF Investing in Justice Campaign kicks off this month, and once again thousands of individual attorneys and legal professionals from throughout the legal community are coming together around our common cause as a profession: taking a lead role to ensure that everyone has access to justice, not just people who can afford to pay for necessary legal help. Over the past seven years, the Campaign has grown from the ambitious vision of a few dedicated individuals to a broad-based effort that has now raised a total of more than $8.5 million for the cause. Last year, more than 4,000 individuals at 137 participating firms, companies and organizations (including the CBA) made it possible for tens of thousands of people to obtain vital legal assistance that is often critical to their safety and independence. While we should take pride in the Campaign's past success, the need in our community is still great, and we have proven that through the Campaign we can make a big impact in meeting this need.

If this is what you like, then he is the dentist for you.
First you hang around in the waiting room then you wait again in the dentist chair. When he finally sits beside you, he will make some small talk, and then you will feel the pain of the needle piercing through your lips, gums, and the roof of your mouth as he injects you with the local anesthesia without rubbing any topical anesthetic gel (only $7/jar retail…and he can't even put a dab on a cotton swab before injection).
Next, after injecting you with the local anesthesia, he vanishes to micromanage his staff and reappears 30 minutes later. Obviously, halfway through the procedure, you will feel the excruciating pain. You complain and he defiantly gives you another painful injection. Now during the procedure, he will manhandle your head like a Rubik's cube. See the pattern here.
By the way, I almost forgot about his fees. His fees might be reasonable for your standards but he will not tell you about other sensible options; he will make the decision for you. He will sell you that shiny Mercedes Benz on the showroom floor but if you don't ask about alternatives, he will not tell you about that new Toyota he's hiding in the back lot.
Let's recap. First you wait, next you will suffer the pain, and then he'll manhandle your head while he micromanages his staff. On the way out, please leave your life savings on the front desk.
By the way, he also forgot to take a cast of my teeth before working on it, so when the bridge arrives, it doesn't bite properly and he tells that it's suppose to be that way.
Ouch…I ignored the earlier warnings. I'm so sorry I doubted you.
Staff is rude, rude and rude. When I finally said I wanted to ask Dr. Luban a question and If I couldn't I would be changing dentists, the instant reply was "that's fine with him". Ha!
Dr. Luban - worse than nothing. – Shyster - is a good word to describe this one... Wanna keep your teeth and $$$? Stay away!!!
STAY AWAY!!!1 – I brought my daughter to Dr. Luban. He charged me additional/tooth for a sealant after doing her exam and cleaning.
In less than one year the sealants had come off completely and my daughter had developed 4 cavities at the places where sealant was placed.
I went to another dentist for cleaning and he did the examination and told me about the cavities and sealant missing.
I called Dr. Luban;s office, but he refused to even call back or take any responsibility for the inappropriate sealant placement that came out in less than a year.
His office staff said that 'he is finished' and will not see us at all, let alone see the cavities or the missing sealant.
I am going to call the licensing board and file a formal complaint.
In the mean time, I highly recommend to stay away from his office.
The only dentist I will go to again – I normally don't enjoy a trip to the dentist. Between holding my mouth open for someone to poke around in for 30 minutes and feeling sore the entire day afterward, that was my least favorite activity every 6 months. Dr. Luban's hygienists are experienced and very welcoming. I am usually out of the office within 30 minutes.
I was able to get my girlfriend in for an appointment after her previous dentist told her she needed over $2500 worth of dental work. Dr. Luban explained to her that this list of work she brought from the other dental office was mostly not needed, and that her teeth were in excellent condition, except for one broken tooth in the back of her mouth. $600 and one crown later, her mouth is fine. Great dentists are hard to come by, and they don't get much better than this.
For those who hate dentists, there's hope :D – Went to Dr. Luban's office and it was great! I had an excellent cleaning- when I asked to see my teeth afterwards the lady used a camera in my mouth to show me all my teeth! It was awesome. :)
I loved how high-tech everything seemed - the monitor in my room seemed HUGE! - but the staff were really friendly and I didn't feel as nervous as I usually do before going to the dentist. The lady at the front - Andi? - was really nice and seemed to really care about the patients that were there.
I only needed one filling replaced, so I don't know about the rest of their fees but, for replacing my filling, the fee was very reasonable. AND PAINLESS!!! (Haha later tested filling at Oggi's - literally across the parking lot)
Dr. Luban all the way! :D
Great Dentist – A few years ago I had a really bad experience at the dentist. I had a crown put on and it hurt every day since. Come to find out that the previous dentist has put it on wrong … thanks to Dr Luban I am finally pain free after years….
Thanks Dr Luban, you've earned a patient for life.
Best dentist ever!!!!! – I wanted a dentist who would be experienced, professional, on-time, and who does not reschedule, does not suggest unnecessary work and treats me like a patient, not a cash cow. Since I moved to San Diego I went through 4 dentists, none of whom made me comfortable. When I was referred to Dr. Luban, I got absolutely lucky. He is an amazing dentist.
He's extremely thorough and what's most important is he's honest and not out to set you up for a robbery! The best part is he has a screen right in front of you with x-rays of your teeth, explaining in complete detail exactly what he sees and what he is thinking as a Dentist! Highly recommended

Greenville College offers me the opportunity to mentor my students spiritually as well as professionally, an opportunity that is usually unavailable at secular colleges and universities. This gives me an opportunity to work with students who seek to further the mission of God's kingdom as well as their own music careers. From my experience, most students attending Greenville College possess a stronger spiritual and moral compass than students from similar secular institutions. This affords me the opportunities to further God's kingdom side-by-side with students of like mind as we seek to worship our Creator.
I performed throughout my childhood in the many contests and recital opportunities available to me in the San Francisco Bay Area. When I decided to attend college, it was a natural decision to become a music performance major and pursue becoming a college professor where I could not only enjoy performing, but teach others the joys of music.
I am a Bosendorfer Artist and perform across the nation at other colleges and recital venues. I am an active church music director in Highland IL where I play piano and organ, as well as lead worship teams and a choir. I also enjoy performing sacred concerts and special services when the opportunity presents itself. During special events, I perform at civic functions and play for retirement homes and convalescent hospitals for shut-ins. I find great joy bringing music to those who yearn for it and to see the pleasure in the faces of those who worship and find recreation through my music.
